Dioptric Adjustment, Holding the Camera

Dioptric Adjustment

By adjusting the diopter to suit your eyesight, you can see a sharp viewfinder image even without eyeglasses. The camera’s adjustable dioptric range is -3 to +1 dpt.

Turn the dioptric adjustment knob.

Turn the knob left or right so that the AF points in the viewfinder look sharp. The illustration shows the knob at the standard setting (-1 dpt).

If the camera’s dioptric adjustment still cannot provide a sharp viewfinder image, using Dioptric Adjustment Lens E (10 types, optional) is recommended.

Holding the Camera

To obtain sharp images, hold the camera still to minimize camera shake.

Horizontal shooting

Vertical shooting

Firmly grasp the camera grip with your right hand, and press your both elbows lightly against your body.

Hold the lens bottom with your left hand.

Press the camera against your face and look through the viewfinder. To maintain a stable stance, place one foot in front of the other instead of lining up both feet.
